BAKED EGGS BENEDICT CUPS RECIPE BY TASTY



Baked Eggs Benedict Cups Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: ham, eggs, egg yolks, white vinegar, butter, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, english muffins

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 slices ham, canadian-style bacon
6 eggs
3 egg yolks
½ teaspoon white vinegar
½ cup butter, melted
4 tablespoons lemon juice
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
3 english muffins, split in halves

Steps:

  • Egg Cups: Grease a large muffin tin. Place a slice of ham in each tin, then crack an egg over each slice of ham. Cover with tin foil, then bake at 350˚F (175˚C) for 8-10 minutes (eight minutes if you like your yolk very runny).
  • Hollandaise sauce: Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that the water doesn't touch the top bowl. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together three egg yolks and ½ tsp white vinegar until well mixed.
  • Slowly pour the melted butter in the egg yolk mixture, a little at a time, while constantly whisking. If you pour too much too quickly without whisking, the mixture might not thicken or mix properly. If the hollandaise gets too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all the butter is incorporated.
  • Remove from heat, whisk in lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Place a toasted English muffin half down, layer the ham and egg cup on top of the English muffin, then drizzle your hollandaise sauce over the egg.
  • Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Eggs Benedict Cups:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh eggs, good-quality Canadian bacon or ham, and ripe tomatoes will make all the difference in the final dish.
  • Poach the eggs gently: Bring the water to a gentle simmer and then reduce the heat to low. Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin and then gently slide it into the simmering water. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
  • Toast the English muffins: Toasting the English muffins before assembling the Eggs Benedict will help them hold up better and prevent them from getting soggy.
  • Assemble the Eggs Benedict carefully: Place the toasted English muffin halves on a plate. Top with a slice of Canadian bacon or ham, a poached egg, and a dollop of hollandaise sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or chopped chives.
  • Serve immediately: Eggs Benedict is best served immediately after it is assembled. The hollandaise sauce will start to separate if it sits for too long.
